An RGB capture would rely even more on the '90s video processing of the LD player than using S-Video output does (further down the chain of decoding from composite color encoding). So I'm skeptical. We want to go in the opposite direction.
You already offered up a possible explanation though (the LD player outputting a previously separated and re-combined signal on its composite output).

Well, the fact that I have rainbow in the Snell&Wilcox both wih still and moving pictures, and I use the NTSC Video Essential laserdisc!!!
You haven't confirmed yet whether the problem is the LD player or the ES15. Try the Digital Video Essentials DVD into it by composite.
Hopefully someone comes by who will walk you through it step-by-step, but the basic process is you use a sound card that can capture bit-perfect SPDIF, use a recording program that also doesn't resample to record a WAV file, and then run that through BeSplit.
I've done it with AC3 before but never owned a DTS LD myself.
Off the top of my head,
The HDCP stripper I mentioned above + Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme
This card costs $950. You can save $550 if you don't need multichannel sound, but it's only sold in Japan so you need to find a way to import: Micomsoft SC-512-L/DVI.
I would change the Subject.
I haven't been following that thread. One poster said "Okay, follow up to my previous post - I am a huge idiot."
I won't start to believe any claims of "updates" unless someone comes forward who CANNOT capture HDCP through the splitter to their BM device but CAN capture non-HDCP sources through the splitter to their BM device.
Maybe such a post is in there somewhere; I haven't read through the whole thing.
Now's the time to buy a TVW750PCIE, if ever. $35-$20 MIR = $15, until Sept 30.

First make sure the PC has a free PCIe slot.
HDMI 1x2 splitter that strips HDCP + Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder = $161, not factoring in shipping
Like everything under the $400 range, this card maxes out at 1080i60. To get 1080p60 you would have to sacrifice multichannel sound, unless you massively expand your budget.
Yeah, it's a watermark, not copy protection.
For what I understand, the people who distribute camcorder'd movies online started going through and removing them a few years ago.
I have the original Matrix in both NTSC and PAL, same colors, but slightly different cropping and different sizing. Let me know if you want some clips.
The top frame on the first clip seems to have extra motion blur/frame blending.
I don't see any reason to spend the extra on the Decklink Studio if you only want to capture digital.
No BlackMagic card will let you capture or even view an encrypted signal. That's what the HDCP stripper is for (in this case a splitter).

Which is the BM device you mentioned in your February article.... one and only but expensive ?
I suppose I should update the thread. They now make a relatively inexpensive card ($145) that does 1080p23.976 and 1080i59.94 with 8-channel LPCM, but it only has HDMI and SDI inputs; no analog.
Decklink Mini Recorder.
I need to buy the best HDCP stripper, suitable for Desktop, able to capture both encrypted and non-encrypted sources (both analog and digital).
I don't have a clue what you're talking about at this point, since there is no such thing as HDMI or HDCP in the analog realm. There are other copy protection schemes there.

I guess I'm just confused. The files themselves would fill a dual-layer DVD, but that's somewhere between ten and fifteen hours of material [my mental math skills are failing me].
He was talking about burning a data disc.
The larger x264 encodes of the The Little Mermaid series from Cinemagic HD in the UK are unfortunately cut, due to their broadcast regulations against flashing imagery.
Airings on HD channels are just upscaled.

At 4K you are looking at about 20TB per film, minimum, the storage alone, even at the end of 1995 when prices dropped to $300 per GB it would have cost around 6 million dollars to store a single 4K scan of the film, and the computers of the time would really not been able to handle it.
Snow White was restored in 4K in 1993. I believe the Cineon system relied heavily on tape storage.
According to an ATI rep (second-hand via a forum admin) and some posts on VideoHelp, yes.

Does anyone here have an ATI Theater 550 Pro?
There is a still of the second S&W PAL test here: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/286099-Blackmagic-Intensity-Pro-Can-t-capture-from-any-VCR-source?p=2200637#post2200637
I've been waiting patiently. :)
Knew I should've prefaced that last sentence with "I think".
Didn't someone point out that the only reason the Averaging trick works is that you're essentially creating a new composite conversion each time you play back from your component source? They said something about phase or inversion that went over my head.
Trying to do the same trick with an LD would be like averaging YCS-100 capture 1 with VP-100 capture 1; they won't cancel out.
So, any checkerboarding on althor's full cap of SW JSC? I couldn't find any. Of course there is some rainbowing here and there on noisy parts of the picture and very small moving details, but I see that even moreso with my Panasonic captures.
I decided to buy a Toshiba DVD recorder to check out the filtering, but the D-KR4SU that I got just has a 2D comb filter with plenty of rainbows and dot crawl.
The manuals for the D-R1 and D-R2 note 3D Y/C Separation, but it looks like the feature was removed from the D-R4/D-KR4 onwards! (Unsure about D-R3.)
Got Sides 1+2 okay after a little repair. Thanks. :)
If shipping is your only problem, I can middleman if no one else will.
They fit into the center portion of the slot.
